Our Planet Could Sing

Wouldn't it be great if the air we breathed was pure and all man kind had enough and no body was poor? Wouldn't it be fine if our hearts all understood and we learned to love each other and seek out only good? Wouldn't it be great if we knew peace on earth and if that peace permeated every home and hearth? Wouldn't it be sweet if our planet could sing to the universe of it's peace with in?
